You know that Michael Jackson song Man In The Mirror where he matures and realizes he shouldn't be a selfish jerk? I feel kind of like that, but more like I'm part of the problem of the world being so repressed, trying to be perfect, and not letting loose and having fun anymore.

Touch Someone More Often
I wonder if the world might be better and happier if people had much more physical affection and sexual experiences in a safe and caring way without going long without any, possibly with women choosing this and lowering their expectations without pressures like money or marriage.
Simplify Roles To Amplify Goals
Here's my idea to help turn Gradey into his own version of Slim Shady, with him coming back strong in a different gear after starting off wrong in a difficult year.
- I like how Darko Rajakovic seems to talk quite a bit about and appears to work very diligently to always develop all facets of all player's games constantly, and I'm sure that strategy and focus has payed huge dividends in many players reaching their long-term potential.
- I wonder if a bit more balance towards simplification of a player's role might be good at certain times or years. Mainly, I wonder if having Gradey Dick simplify his game to focus on shooting for the next 1.5 seasons might make sense now, with less dribbling, scoring, passing.
How Times Have Changed
How times have changed. A joyous, funny, and rich black man having the time of his life chilling and laughing at an angry, hard working, and unfairly treated white man. *Yes I know Steve Kerr is also rich and not really unfairly treated, but check out this Snoop Dogg master call*
Then Play Flagg At Center
If the Raptors end up getting Cooper Flagg in the NBA draft and keep Poeltl, then I think they should move Poeltl to the bench and start Flagg or Barnes at center, with the goal of getting more shooting into both the starting lineup and the bench.
My Lineup
- Quickley, Agbaji, Ingram, Barnes, Flagg
- Walter, Barrett, Dick, Boucher, Poeltl
Notes
- More shooting starting, and Boucher to win
- RJ or Poeltl play more than Agbaji most games
- Barrett to bench for handling and scoring
- Battle is the 11th guy for more shooting
Organize Music Into 2-4-6 Singles
I organized my entire music library so that every album now has either 2, 4, 6, or 8 singles or picks in it. Believe it or not, I don't think I have OCD, but it was incredibly rewarding and worthwhile nonetheless.
Challengers Etcetera
I've been watching and impressed with so many great new movies lately, that I sincerely enjoyed and heartily recommend. Challengers, Hit Man, Problemista, Suncoast, The Fall Guy, The League, LaRoy Texas (Violence), and Late Night With The Devil (Horror) are all excellent movies!
Tick Tock Tack
Instead of using the complicated term process-architecture-optimization for releasing three chip designs on one process node, I wonder if it would be simpler to refer to it as tick-tock-tack, or tick-tock-tack-tuck if there are four chip designs.
Make Thick Phone With Flat Back
I wonder if Apple should now make an iPhone thicker for huge battery and flush camera. Slim down in future as battery and camera tech improves.

Fast And Slow Thinking
I wonder if people like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Emily Dickenson would be posting links to their essays or poems on Twitter and Facebook.
iTunes Festival Concerts
My award for best iTunes Festival concert that I watched goes to Mumford & Sons. I have watched them 3 times so far. Sorry Jack White, you were brilliantly awesome and I especially liked the all female band but you have to settle for runner up. P!nk gets 3rd for her honest performance where she talked after every song and didn’t care if she messed up lyrics. Loved how she acknowledges everyone in her band and all of her fans. And I wouldn’t be surprised if some women would buy an Apple TV just to watch the Usher concert.
Great Female Rock Singers
Listening to the new Metric album this weekend I started thinking about some of my favorite female singers of the last twenty years. The women who’s voices are so original and unmistakeable and that I liked immediately the first time I heard them in one of their great songs. Here are ten of my favorites. For rock singers and women that are mostly in bands, five of my favorites would be Emily Haines (Metric), Florence Welch (Florence and the Machine), Tegan and Sara, Doloris O’Riordan (The Cranberries), and Left Eye Lopes (TLC). And for singer songwriter and vocalist types, five of my favorites are Joss Stone, Frazey Ford, Norah Jones, Jewel, and Natalie Merchant. Those ten cover quite a few different genres and styles of music too. Any time I hear one of these voices it generally puts me in a pretty good mood.
